Avr.n, IS, 1878. The W'tv Sews. Tho war news during the past few days baa been of a contradic tory nature, - and, judging from previous experience,; the- safest method of estimating the actual situation will be to take a middle course between the ultra-warlike and tho extremely pacific. While one correspondent asserted' that a strong feeling of: the inevitablity of war exists both in TA>hdon and St. Petersburg, another declares that an'axuicable interchange of views has taken place between the two . Courts. However this may bo, it pppears certain that the two prin cipal disputants, in the European embroglio, -while both professing an earnest dosina for peace, aro both unwilling to make any but the most trivial concessions. From the present aspect of the situation, it would appear that tho best cLance3 of a solution depend upon the _-mediatory efforts of Prince Bismarck, who is Baid to de clare that the principal difficulties in the way of intervention have boon overcome. Tho negotiations between Russia and England- are aid to be. progressing, but advices from St. Petersburg do not appear to take.a very cheerful view of the situation. Both House* off ths British Parliament adjourned on Tuesday the Commons until the 6th of May, and the Lord3 until the IS to. Editorial Notos. For sir months ending Juno 30, 1S77, it cost 64,610.77 to run the Kingston Penitentiary. The yearly salaries amount to $39,C-i0. Mr. C. W.- Bunting, of the Hail, has .been unanimously nominated as Conservative candidate for Welland, and has consented to run. ~"~ i The North Perth Reformers have nominated Mr. James Fisher their candidate for the Commons, and Mr. Hay, M.P.P., of Listowel, for'the Local House. J. B. Plumb, M. P., haa been re-nominfcted in Niagara as Con servative candidate. Captain Big- ars has been nominated as Comser- ; veuve candidate for the Legislature ia North Bruce. ji Parliament will probably be prorogued by.the end ofr the week. It is understood that trie House, which muit neceEsairily adjourn over Good Friday, will meet: on Saturday, and again on Easter Monday. The, Hon. John Young died in "Montreal on Friday evening after a shirt illness. He was at one time a prominent member of Par liament and a leading public man. He 'was the Canadian Commis sioner to the Australian Exhibi tion, and at the time of his death wag chairman of the Montreal Harbor Board. - A newspaper is to-be started in Toronto under the name of the Irish. Rationalist. It will advocate Irish independence, and this .'object is to be gained, not by moral suasion, but by the Bame means the United States obtained their independence; In other words, it will openly advocate treason against England in that country's moat loyal dependency. The-Ottawa Free Press is now one of the best newspapers publish ed in the: Dominion. It haa lately put on ah entire new dress, which makes it good-looking and readable. \t contains all the earliest political intelligence from the" capital; jto- gethor with a large amount of telegraphioj and other interesting news. The Daily fret Press con tains 32 columns of reading matter, and its mailed to any addresa for 86 per sinnum.

From a statement made by tho Minister of Finance-iatoly, however; it appears that tho'gov- cruuiont has decided not to call it in, but on tho contrary auch currency can still boFobtairiod from the Reeeiver.-Geuor^l. Th scrip cow in circulation amounts ! to $116,500. . ! In tho Supremo Court on Mon day, judgment was given in tho Jacques Cartier and Charlevoix election cases. In tho former the entire Court was unanimous for dismissal of the petition upon sixteen of tho soventeen^pointa of fered by the petitioners, and upon tho seventeenth a majority took the same view. Mr." Laflamme's election is, therefore, sustained. -In the Charlevoix case tho decision merely affecting tho right of appeal went in favor, of the re spondent, Mr. Langevin. It is sometimes 6tated that the peoplo In tho Province of Quebec are considerably behind thoso in Ontario ; but there is ono tiling ih which they aro ahead of us. They use Sunday as a day for political speechmaking tho politicians tak ing ai'vantago of the people's at tendance nt church to explain their views. This is decidedly economi cal of time, as it does not interfere with a person's legitimate week day .occupation. ,-But we do not think it would d.6 in thia Province. We hove etill a trace or two of the old-fashioned respect for Sunday left with us. It has often been asserted ihat the novel theories relating to re ligions and philosophical matters which are agitating men's minds, are in a great degree responsible for much of tho mental disease which now fills our asylums. , Tho facts clearly, point to some such relationship, In the two cases of suicides which within the past few days have occurred in Toronto, the state" of unsound mind which led to the fatal act is. traceable to the adoption of such theories resting upon very -slight foundation of scientific knowledge. A belief in spiritualism has ruined one career, a belief : in " affinities" another. These are two subjects which have baffled the most vigiroua intellects, and may well be left to those who have leisure and opportunities to investigate them fully and imparti ally. If scientific and philosophi cal problems are left in the bands of professed scientists, men who University Boat Race. In tho presonco of an immense mass of people, tho thirty-ufth Inter-University boat race was rowed on -Saturday morning over tho usual courso on tho Thames .from Putney - to Ijlortlake. Tho weather wan.perhaps the finest during which Sany of thoso races has been rowed. Last ycat's dead heat, and the fact that Oxford was only one raco ahead, led to increased interest (if an increase bevpossible) being taken in thia year's contest, and tho fact that Saturday's raoo was rowecknt tho more reasonable hour of eleven,- bjb compared with half-past eighf. last year may also help to explain tho inoro crowded appearanco of the banks, and tho gieater.number of boat's-and barges on tho river when contrasted with the attendance in 1877. Cambridge won tho toss, and.piiddlod over to tho Middlesex station amid ~ the loud cheors of their supporters. At 10:16 tho-.umpire gave- tho signal, and the start was expected. For the first quarter of a mile Cambridge led by a quarter of a bout's longth, rowing forty-two sJrokes per . minute to Oxford's fifty strokes. After this point the race was simply no race at all, but merely a procession. - At the Creek,, Oxford led half a boat's length, increasing her lead with the greatest ease. The raco was won by six or eight lengths, and even that great distance could have , been increased indefinitely if there had been any occasion .for Oxford to exert itself. Tho ;time of the Oxford boat was 22. miiintes 15 seconds. Cambridge passed the winning post in 22 minutes 50 Beconds.

The teachers7 of Nassagaweya held the first regular convention of their Association at Brookyille, on Saturday, 6th inst. As was an ticipated, a, large number of teach ers from Nassagaweya and other places wero present;, tho rate payers were also well represented in tho i)er8ons:.of some of the most respectable/influential, and intelli gent people of the- township. The BSard of Directors presented the programme for the day to the President, and'Mr; McPhee was consequently called upon to deliYer an address on Book-keeping, -which he did, treating his subject in a very scholarly manner. Mr. Black, a practical book-keeper, endorsed and supplemented the remarks of Mr. McPhee, concluding - by ex pressing his approval of the Asso ciation and ita object. An essay on teaching the Commandment^) and other religious exercises in school, was read by Miss BouBfield, by special request. The essay was compendious in its arrangement, but very comprehensive in its character, and elicited the well- merited applause of an appreciative audience. The. meeting was next addressed by . Mr. Cooper on the subject of^dlscipline in school; he held |up the ancient pedagogues with a bundle of rules under one arm and a rod Of correction under the other, in a- very ludicrouB aspect. Mr. Cooper introduced a number of idea on 'discipline, quite original,, which led to a lengthy discussion,. in which the majority of those present expressed themselves. Mr. Day, of Eramosa, being present, was requested to address-the meeting, which he did in a manner both practical and ex pressive. He showed the advan tages to be derived ,from teaching1 the higher' branches of literature and mathematics in public schools at an earlier stage than that at which they are generally introduc ed, clearly defining bis theories.by -3i Pea and Scissor Selects.
